are deserving of high praise.

Arrested and Exonorated.

United States Marshal Campbell
arrived in town on Thursday of last
week with a warrant for the arrest
of Orange Mattison, the complaint
being made by internal revenue col
lector Bierman, charging him with
selling liquor In 1885, without con-
spicuously displaying bis license.
He was taken to st. Paul, and ar
raigned, and, of course plead not
guilty. The collector appeared and
said the complaint was mistake in
declaring that the defendant had
sold liquor, but that it was cigars
sold without having the license post
ed, but said that he believed the de-
PENDANT innocent Of that charge and
that he was now satisfied that there
never had been any ground for the
complaint. Marshal Campbell was Of
the same opinion, after investigating
the matter fully here. Mr.. MattisOn
was thereupon discharged, fully and
com pletely exonorated. How the
arrest ever Game to be made Mr..
Madison has no Idea, the officers re-
fusing to give him the name of the
person upon whose information the
complaint was made. The collector
said he was satisfied be had been de-
ceived, but said no good could come
from his revealing the name of the
person who did it, but it would re-
suit in trouble between The parties.
The only foundation for the charge
was the fact that when Charlie Mar
shall was running the Eastern
House he had a cigar license, and
when Mr.. Mattisen took possession
he had to take out a new license, and
for two or three days, while the new
license WIS being issued no license
at all was displayed. MI. Madison
says lie was treated in most gentle
manly manner by the United States
offic ials and has no cause Of COM
plant against them, but he would
give a good round sum to know who
lied about him To the collector,

School Notes.

The regular meeting of the V. S.
Y. S. was held on Monday evening
instead of Tuesday on account of the
concert.
There was recitation by Miss
Carrie Ward, and reading by Miss
Anna 0rendorf, after which came
the debate, which was one of the best
we have had yet. The question un.
der discussion was:
RESOLVED. "That High License is
better than Prohibition
Both the negative and affirmative
sides were handled in mastery style
especially that of the negative. The
volunteers came thick and fast. even
from the alkali country. The judges
decided in favor of the negative.
The impromptu speech on "print-
ing" being delivered by a printer,
was excellent.
The algreba class are working away

there.
The party who reported for the
Tribune last week, evidently thought
he was reporting for the drum corps
instead of the literary society.

teachers patience, it ls.a squeaklng

were seen promenading up and down

Board of Trade,

The meeting of the Board of Trade

ed-in fact these weekly meetings
are growing in attendance, in inter-
est and in Importance. The Board
listened with interest to tie report
of w. A. Gates, who was appointed
last " eek to meet with the repre-
sentatives of the Duluth, Huron and
Denyer road, at the meeting of the
Board OF Directors Of this road in St.
Paul on Tuesday of last week. His
report was, in the main, anticipated
by an article in this paper last week
relative to the road. He supple.
mented it by the statement that
personal assurances were given him
that the actual work would be COM
menced here as soon as the weather
would admit. The railroad commit
tee made an additional report, and
the apestipn of new lines of road
were very fully disguised, the pros.
poets being decidedly favorable for the
building of another line to this viii
lags during the season.
( The matter of wheat market was
called up as unfinished business, and
postponed another week, owing to
other matters of Importance demand
ing Immediate attention.
GOV. Barto moved that commit.
tee be appointed to confer with the
village council and see what steps
should be taken in the matter of the
assessment and levy Of taxes for the
ensuing year. This was fruitful
subject for discussion, opening up
the subject of the relations of the
Board of Trade to the village coun.
Gil. All the members OF the council,
except the recorder, were present,
and pleasant understanding was
reached, the trustees favoring the
idea of advising from time to time
